Abstract:  The Land Revolution is considered as the most important factor that led the Chinese Communist Party to the completion of the military mobilization and the final revolutionary victory in China. And it is also a hot research subject in regards to the revolution in Modern China within many disciplines including laws, economics, political science, history, sociology, and anthropology. This paper is a critical review of the studies on the issues of the Land Revolution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on three facets of problematique, theoretical paradigms, and specific topics. This review is using a new framework with four traditional research lines: studying China’s revolutionary history in America since the 1950s, studying the history of the Chinese Communist Party since the founding of New China, studying the Chinese social and economic history since the 1930s, and studying the oral history since the 1990s. Based on a careful review of the current literature related to the issues in CCP’s Land Revolution, the paper is critical in terms of clarifying the problematique process of the Land Revolution from the angle of the academic developmental history, to find out the internal roadmaps and the developmental paths within the academia, to look into the problems and limitations of various research traditions and theoretical perspectives, and to lay down a foundation for future research.
